Calls for elected officials to be open and transparent to avoid scandal like the one brewing at the Toronto District School Board over an expense audit

Only three of the six candidates attended Toronto Taxpayers Coalition debate

Re-imagining the port lands, improving transit flow, and of course, respecting taxpayers were all discussed during the Ward 30 all-candidates meeting held Wednesday night by the Toronto Taxpayers Coalition — but only three of six candidates were there to debate them.

The mayoral debates have morphed into an endless and mindless broken record of who can insult who best, who has the least personal baggage and whose transit plan can be done the fastest, with the best financing schemes and the fewest hits on our pocketbooks.

We’ve been hard at work interviewing candidates to see where they stand on the issues that matter the most to you.
